This one’s for the club.
What club?
I’m hailing that group of quietly connected, loosely knit, and elegantly empowered introverts who clamored
(in their own understated way)
about my post last year titled “A wise woman once said … nothing.”
I was surprised and delighted by the response—how incredibly affirming!
So many of us, it seems, feel that our personality characteristics (like the deep need for alone time) are peculiar quirks, unique and, well … rather odd.
Not so.
Not so at all.
Hence my use of the term “club” (no commitment required).
If you piped up about that post, or just silently listened in, I think you will appreciate this video created by the RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce) to illustrate points made by Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking.
Enjoy!
This video is great! For all of us who are a bit quirky and tend to shrink back in big crowds, Susan has given us a voice of empowerment. Never underestimate the power of what is going on behind a shy exterior!
I have seen the advantage of the partnership of opposites. This is how we compliment one another! I’m the extrovert, brimming with ideas and enthusiasm. How I appreciate the quiet input of another viewpoint saved from being trampled by being steadfast!
